A Casual Review – I LOVE YOU COLONEL SANDERS! It’s Finger Licking Good …?

While Popeyes and Chick-fil-A were busy battling each other over chicken sandwiches, KFC was silently developing a secret weapon that could win the war.

I Love You, Colonel Sanders! A Finger Lickin’ Good Dating Simulator is a visual novel developed by Psypop and published by KFC.

Like most legendary titles, the game asks its players deep, philosophical questions such as: “What is love? What are the 11 spices? Are ads getting smarter? Why would anyone play this?”

In the story, the player assumes the role of a student who recently got accepted into a prestigious culinary school.

During your time at the school, you’ll meet many colorful and interesting characters, such as corgi professor, a classmate who is a pressure cooker, a rival with a shallow personality and most importantly, Colonel Sanders.

Like most visual novels, the player will encounter dialogue options during the story and have to choose how they react to certain situations.

These dialogue options can have an impact on the ending of the game (yes, there are multiple endings).

While the game itself is only about an hour long, I would highly recommend anyone who wanted to try the game to take multiple breaks in between to prevent themselves from being charmed by Colonel Sanders’ charisma.

Ever since I finished the game in one go, I’ve been having dreams about the silky texture of mashed potato and smooth gravy, the irresistible smell of 11 spices fried chicken and Colonel Sanders’ magnificent, silver white goatee.

Putting the jokes aside, this game is the embodiment of ads getting smarter.

It has many keywords about KFC embedded into its jokes and the game is very self aware of its purpose—to promote and sell fried chicken.

Yet, the game is actually very entertaining because of how ridiculous and odd it is.

The writing of the game can be humorous from time to time, filled with hidden references.

I don’t think this game can be recommended, but it is something that anyone can try when they really don’t have anything to do.

It is a funny meme game, and it is only about an hour long and free on Steam.

This story was not sponsored by KFC.

A Horrible Review – Fourth Life considered greatest game in human history

April 1, 2019 by Xiao Liang Leave a Comment

After seven years of development and crowdfunding, Best Games Studios has finally fulfilled its promise of “creating the game that everyone dreamed of.”

Fourth Life is a massive multiplayer online first-person role-playing action survival sandbox simulation sports shooter real-time strategy battle royale game that has the most innovative game-play mechanics the world has ever seen.

Unlike other game developers, the people at Best Games Studios understand and know what the gaming community wants for their games.

Instead of choosing inferior and obsolete gaming platforms such as PCs and consoles, the developers of Fourth Life wanted everyone to enjoy the game and have made the decision to release exclusively on mobile because “everyone has a phone.”

The processing power and the state of the art hardware of smartphones are capable of handling the otherwise impossible engine that the game runs on for around 30-45 minutes, depending on the player’s preferred phone of choice.

If the player decides to get the Ultimate Deluxe Collector’s edition of Fourth Life for $300, the game will also come with a compact-portable power bank which will extend the possible play time.

Now let us talk about what makes Fourth Life so special: the game-play.

In Fourth Life, the player gets to choose to be whatever they want to be.

The forward-thinking developers of the game have added over 500 gender and sexual orientations for the players to choose from, such as Attack Helicopters, Goats, Pizza and Chairs.

The players are even allowed to customize the look of their character pixel by pixel, which is the true character building that everyone wanted.

After choosing what or who they want to be, the players are thrown into the immersive world of Fourthland, a place where magic and technology coexist and the world is open for the players to explore.

At the very start of the game, the players have to find a purpose for themselves as the game heavily emphasizes on making your own choice, which means that there are no set objectives and no real NPCs to interact with the players.

However, with a small fee of $30 per month, the player is able to access additional features of the game such as crafting and learning magic.

On top of the monthly subscriptions, the players can also purchase in-game currency to participate in what is probably the most exciting and addictive game mode of all time: Loot Roulette.

Unlike the questionable loot boxes that some other game companies have been implementing, the Loot Roulette is a perfectly fair and balanced mode that allows the players to acquire loot by playing the in-game roulette.

Although the win rate and chances of Loot Roulette were not posted by the developers of the game, Best Games Studios has assured players that the roulette is perfectly balanced because it functions just like a real-world roulette.

Aside from the breath-taking Loot Roulette game mode, the game also has a very competitive and advanced battle royale mode.

Unlike most popular battle royal games before the launch of Fourth Life, the battle royale mode of the game has completely removed the element of luck, as this would make the game unfair and not fun to play.

Instead, the players can use the in-game currency they’ve purchased to choose accurately where they’ll be dropping and what kind of loot they will acquire, a truly fair and open battle royale indeed.

Fourth Life is a completely perfect and functional game that will just keep improving by itself.

Even the developers at Best Games Studios have claimed to stop any further development and maintenance of the game shortly after its release because of how perfect it is.

To conclude, I’ll give Fourth Life the highest score and recommendation: 10/10; it’s all right and the only entertainment you will ever need.
